The call in the night
Her cry of need
Her hopes were raised as she sent the text
The text that was so hard to write
That acknowledged her need
She was so proud
So independant
So unwilling to acknowledge her need
But this is now
This is urgent
She needs to test
The question burning in her heart and mind
Dare she open her soul
Can she possibly make the call despite the scars of the past
The text simple
Six simple words
Please come, I need you now
It’s meaning clear:
Not tomorrow
Nor next week
Now
Less than a minute later
She hears his calm reassuring voice
Listening to her deepest needs
Despite the distance over sea, land and the vageries of time
She feels his presence
His care
His desire to meet her deepest needs
